32nd Most Memorable Chicago Bears Game since 1979 Vikings 21, Bears 20: October 4, 1992 Anyone who was alive and watching the Bears in 1992 remembers this game.

37th Most Memorable Chicago Bears Game since 1979 Bears 23, Packers 21: December 18, 1983 This was the coldest game in Soldier Field history, before being surpassed by the Bears-Packers contest in 2008.

Somewhat surprising. In yesterday’s little-publicized NFL Supplemental Draft, the Bears added Brigham Young running back Harvey Unga, basically by spending their 2011 seventh round pick on him.
